(1) A person commits the crime of coercion when the person compels or
induces another person to engage in conduct from which the other person
has a legal right to abstain, or to abstain from engaging in conduct in
which the other person has a legal right to engage, by means of

the compulsion or inducement, the actor or another will:

(a) Unlawfully cause physical injury to some person;

(c) Engage in conduct constituting a crime;

(d) Falsely accuse some person of a crime or cause criminal charges to
be instituted against the person;

(e) Cause or continue a strike, boycott or other collective action
injurious to some person’s business, except that such a threat is not
deemed coercive when the act or omission compelled is for the benefit of
the group in whose interest the actor purports to act;

(f) Testify falsely or provide false information or withhold testimony
or information with respect to another’s legal claim or defense; or

(g) Unlawfully use or abuse the person’s position as a public servant by
performing some act within or related to official duties, or by failing

some person adversely.

ORS 163.285 Defense to coercion.
In any prosecution for coercion committed by instilling in the victim a
fear that the victim or another person would be charged with a crime, it
is a defense that the defendant reasonably believed the threatened
charge to be true and that the sole purpose of the defendant was to
compel or induce the victim to take reasonable action to make good the
wrong which was the subject of the threatened charge. [1971 c.743 §103]
